To determine which speeches emphasize the theme of immigrants coming to America to escape difficult situations, you would need to recall the content of the speeches given by each character in the play "I Am American" by Jennifer Tibbets. Typically, speeches discussing hardships, struggles, or the desire for a better life would align with this theme.
If Juanita Ramirez and Ty Smith's speeches discuss fleeing from danger or seeking refuge, they would be strong candidates. However, I'm unable to access specific content from the play to accurately identify which two speeches emphasize this theme.
You may want to refer back to the texts or summaries of each character's speech to identify those that best fit the theme of escaping difficult situations.
